Say Froch beats Kessler ... in Copenhagen

watched their fight today, it elevated both them imo. kessler was a bit gun shy but joes work rate chin and movement made him lose. carl sometimes waits to look like the man in charge and with kessler (after bring put down by taylor) he may live to regret it. problem for joes record is tha nobody knew how good he was until the last few fights of his career

 

Froch still hasn't had a dominant performance in his big fights yet.

Calzaghe has a much more established resume which has more depth to Froch's.

So no, if Froch beats Kessler his record would not surpass Calzaghe's.

 

FAILED

Its so easy to show only one side of the medal.....

 

I don't think legacies can be established by beating any particular opponent. Say Froch does beat Kessler well on points, but then gets brutally KOd by Ward or Bute? And then gets KOd a couple more times. The fact that he beat Kessler won't mean much for hislegacy as it will be viewed as a fluke, that he just had a perfect night.

 

Wrong.

 

Posters should be able to delete their own thread when they are this bad.

 

Sigh, terrible post.


Calzaghe will always be a better fighter than Froch even if Froch does do what you mentioned above, unless Froch suddenly learns new skills and develops attributes that he's never showed us before.

Calzaghe is the better fighter, head to head and vs anyone else. You only have to watch them both fight to know that.

 

Kessler will KO Froch I know that much.

 

If Froch beats Kessler he still still won't have anything like the depth on his record that Calzaghe has.

 

i think people just wish Calzaghe had the mindset of Froch when he first became champ

 

Frochs "mindset" is somewhat dictated by his circumstances and age.

 

People like to forget Froch has been around along time and took ****ing ages to make an impact on the world scene. Infact, I remember defending Carl Froch on this place, he was much maligned for his big mouth and lack of action. Now he's got gloryhunters swinging off his nutsacks.

 

i like both fighters and it annoys me with the constant comparisons people seem hellbent on picking holes in wat calzaghe achieved one thing i disagree with the original poster is his anaylsis of the taylor fight
Froch got decked by Taylor, but roared back and stopped him

i for one barely gave froch a round against the ageing taylor what defeated himwas his lack of fitness and i hate to say it desire

 

I dident give him a single round untill the last one and he was not winning that untill the stoppage.
